Data last updated
In Tacoma (98404), investors own about 152 tracked properties across 24 active buyers, with a median investor purchase price near $265,000. 29 were acquired in the last 12 months.
The trend is upward: 29 purchases this year against 17 last, about 71% more. Expect contracts to move faster and price expectations to firm up.
Most capital here runs value-add / rehab — 82.0% of tracked activity. Buyers geared for renovation will look at stock that would not trade in a new-construction market.
The median investor-owned home was built around 1946. About 82.0% predates 1980, so lead-paint disclosure, older systems and heavier rehab budgets are normal here.
Investor ownership in 98404 runs to roughly 152 properties, spread across 24 active buyers. At under 1.2 deals per buyer in 12 months, no small group controls this market; expect to work a longer list for the same volume.
Investors here buy at a median of $265,000. The average of $371,000 sits well above it, so a tail of higher-priced deals is pulling the mean up — most activity happens below the average, and pricing off the median is the safer read.
